  Great, then it is a good idea to enable it by default. Can you do it 
for all busybox versions?

  Question to the list: do we really need to keep several busybox 
versions? For U-Boot or kernel it may make some kind of sense, because 
you have custom patches on top of a specific version. But for busybox?

  It is already using the -p option, no?
